A poem that dissects my own anger. Two sides of the same man speak. Hope it makes sense.

Mirror, Oh Mirror,

What do you see

&nbsp;Behind that bright face of glee?

_&nbsp;_

_Hidden well beneath a mask  
 Thinner than air;  
 Away from the prying eyes  
  
 You hide something hideous;  
 Fowl and disgraceful  
 A beast   
  
 One of pure indignation,_

_Hiding tears of disparity,_

_Silently screaming in a room of utter nothingness_

_Tis all a set;_

_&nbsp;A stage_

_An opening for something far greater_

_&nbsp;_

_A tradgedy_

_A comedy_

_Dyed red by your mind's fury_

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

_Hidden away within his mind lies the key_

_Why will you not see?_

_Or is it perhaps he who is blind?_

_&nbsp;_

_You will lose that which you love_

_For you are too ignorant and full of anger to see_

_That would you do is a parasite that slowly infects he_

Cold glass against my fist

No more will I hear   
 From that wretched mirror

_&nbsp;_

_Simply smashing me will do nothing_

_And yet again you prove your insanity,_

_Knowing nothing but anger_

_&nbsp;_

_I see the desire planted so firmly in thine heart_

_Tis a noble purpose that would bring about great change_

_Yet you do not pursue it_

_You do nothing to further it;  
 What is stopping you?_

_You truly are an ignorant beast_

_&nbsp;_

And you are to know better?

You walk not in my shoes!  
 You know nothing of what I am!

&nbsp;

You simply cannot be real!  
 You are an apparition;  
 An illusion

&nbsp;

_But that is where you are wrong!  
 I am quite real, you see,_

_You've even touched me_

_&nbsp;_

_I am as real as the trees,   
 The birds,_

_And the bees_

_&nbsp;_

_I am part of this world,_

_No mere apparition,_

_And I speak only truth for I am omniscient_

_&nbsp;_

_I see within you your every waking thought!  
 I know your memories as if they are my own_

_And I know of what hand fate has dealt you_

_&nbsp;_

You simply cannot be real!  
 Crumble beneath my fists!  
 Speak no more!

&nbsp;

_But I shall never disappear_

_For you and I are one:  
 A division of a soul_

_&nbsp;_

You are not me!  
 You cannot be!  
 You know nothing!

&nbsp;

_I know more than you wish   
 But this makes me no less of you,  
 You filthy beast_

_&nbsp;_

Silence!  
 Speak no more of untrue words!  
 Tell no more of your lies!

&nbsp;

_They are not lies_

_But simply the truth_

_Told askew_

_&nbsp;_

_The purest truth_

_Told from your own perspective;_

_Do you not see, you ignorant waste of space?_

_&nbsp;_

Stop!

Stop talking!  
 It's all lie!

&nbsp;

_Truth is the only language I speak!  
 Realize this you fowl creature!_

_Open your eyes and see truth!_

_&nbsp;_

No!  
 You speak not truth!

You are not me!
